If they wanted no defense they could have required the robots to stay on opposite sides of the field.

Point well taken but an important distinction is his comment was that ramming gives an unfair advantage to the defense.

I was at BAE and just about every shooter could be stopped by hitting them. Some shooters have powerful enough drive trains to counteract being pushed. However, the act of starting from 5ft+ away and ramming could stop any shooter from successfully scoring in the center goal. With that being said, without any ramming calls from the refs shooters were being hammered in order to stop their offensive prowess.
